With sincerest love and loss we pray, morn and celebrate Al's life. He was my right hand at the Port and helped navigate me through these turbulent waters with advice and a smile.

I have received calls, texts and emails lauding the man he was...special.

I pray and my family prays for his soul and family.

With deepest love!
